E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

To determine if it's a problem with a missing Internet connection, try running this command:

Code:

ping www.openfoam.org

If it says it's unable to find it, then you don't have the Internet connection properly configured.

If you do have Internet connection, then you can try the following instructions: https://github.com/themiwi/OpenFOAM-Installer - it's a very simple script that does automatically for you the instructions shown for the Debian or RPM packages. Simply follow the instructions and you should be good to go!
